About Residential Architecture & Interior Design
Why I Do What I Do
A home should be more than just rooms and walls - for me, it’s about creating a space that really feels like you. I love making homes where every tiny detail, from the roof tiles to the dining table legs, means something. Honestly, ithu enteyum oru swapnam aanu (this is my dream too).
My Design Style
I mix Kerala’s old-school charm with a clean, modern vibe. You’ll see sloped roofs, clay tiles, wooden details, and patterned floors, but also bold shapes and lots of glass. My goal is homes that feel both rooted and new.
- Inspired by Kerala style modern home design
- Modern minimalist house interiors with a touch of tradition
Nature Inside, Not Just Outside
I’m big on homes that “breathe.” Loads of sunlight, cross-ventilation, and spaces that flow from inside to outside. I love using laterite stone, wood, exposed brick, and adding greenery everywhere - from courtyards to balcony creepers.
- Sustainable natural material interiors
- Indoor outdoor living spaces that actually connect you with nature
How I Work
From the first sketch till you move in, I’m there. I handle both architecture and interiors, obsessing over how everything fits together so your place isn’t just pretty, but works for your life.
What I Build
- Custom villas, family homes, farmhouses, and apartment interiors
- Renovations with as much care as new builds
- Special features like double-height living, green courtyards, open kitchens, and custom furniture
If you want a home that feels like it’s really yours, that’s what I love building.

My Story
I’m Vinay, the face behind VM Architects. Kerala’s old stories and textures are in my bones, even though we’re building in Bangalore and Calicut now. I’m obsessed with mixing old-school charm—like courtyards and laterite stone—with clean, modern vibes. We celebrate every finished home with a milk warming, making clients family. Ente hridayam niranja nanni to all who let us be part of their journey.
